You don't need to make any modifications to the mvn script to accomplish
what you're trying to do. Here's what we do...
1) Set up a directory that will contain resource/configuration files
that you want available when you run your tests. For us, we use
${basedir}/src/test/config
2) Put any resource/configiguration files you want available during
tests in that directory. For your situation, you'd put the log4j.xml
file in the ${basedir}/src/test/config directory.
3) Add an entry to the build/testResources element in your pom.xml.
Here's an example:
<build>
<testResources>
<testResource>
<directory>src/test/config</directory>
<includes>
<include>log4j.xml</include>
</includes>
</testResource>
</testResources>
</build>
You need to add an 'include' entry for each resource. Check out
http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-model/maven.html#class_testRes
ource for more details on what you can do with the testResources
element.
With these changes in place, Maven will copy to the test/classes folder
all of the test resources you've listed. The test/classes folder is
included in the class path when Maven runs your tests, so log4j will
utilize the log4j.xml file that was originally located in
src/test/config.
As far as turning on log4j's debugging, just set the debug attribute in
the root element to "true".

Subject: How to use log4j (log4j.xml) and Maven and Junit??
I have written some JUnit tests and put them in the standard layout for
test
cases under Maven. The tests use log.debug(msg), log.info(msg) etc.
The tests run OK.
So now I created a simple log4j.xml file with an appender and a logger
that
filters only the logging messages in my test case (by package).
When I run maven (mvn test), how do I tell it where my log4j.xml is and
how to
use log4j logging?
I have tried everything. I edited the "mvn" script under the install
directory
to include the following:
exec "$JAVACMD" \
$MAVEN_OPTS \
-classpath "${M2_HOME}"/core/boot/classworlds-*.jar \
"-Dclassworlds.conf=${M2_HOME}/bin/m2.conf" \
"-Dmaven.home=${M2_HOME}" \
"-Dmaven.junit.sysproperties=log4j.configuration" \
"-Dlog4j.configuration=file:C:\tmp\log4j.xml" \
${CLASSWORLDS_LAUNCHER} $QUOTED_ARGS
this does not work (have tried with and without file:.
---
I have included a something similiar on the mvn command line:
mvn -Dlog4j.configuration=c:\tmp\log4j.xml test
this does not work (have included =file:c:\tmp... as well
---
I have also tried setting properties in the pom.xml like so:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skip>false</skip>
<useFile>false</useFile>
<systemProperties>
<property>
<name>maven.junit.sysproperties</name>
<value>log4j.configuration</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>log4j.configuration</name>
<value>file=:c:\tmp\log4j.xml</value>
</property>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>
</plugin>
---
and
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skip>false</skip>
<useFile>false</useFile>
<systemProperties>
<property>
<name>maven.junit.sysproperties</name>
<value>log4j.configuration</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>log4j.configuration</name>
<value>c:\tmp\log4j.xml</value>
</property>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>
</plugin>
--- and (log4j.xml is in same directory as pom.xml) this does not work
either.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skip>false</skip>
<useFile>false</useFile>
<systemProperties>
<property>
<name>maven.junit.sysproperties</name>
<value>log4j.configuration</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>log4j.configuration</name>
<value>log4j.xml</value>
</property>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>
</plugin>

none of these work. Any ideas on how to integrate Maven2, Log4J and
Junit would
be greatly appreciated.
